This is how I feel the exotic weapons should be buffed/balanced. Please feel free to leave feed back. I'll respond to genuine responses. Update 1: I've added genuine feed back below the weapon. Your names will appear next to a spoiler. A paraphrase of what you thought was a proper buff will be in the spoiler. I also included if you didn't want a buff or nerf as well. Lets get this to Bungies attention and make out exotics worth equipping :D I've also tried to cut out a lot of the clutter from the main post so it should have a much neater and easy to read look. Please Like as well as Bump if you feel any of these ideas are great for our Exotics. Update 2: We made it to the top of Highest Rated in Feed Back! That's awesome! I hope we get a response soon. Maybe we can get a hint at whether or not we'll have an Exotic Re-Balance before House of Wolves like the one we had before The Dark Below. Maybe we'll also get a hint at whether we'll get an Auto Rifle Buff to help be viable again. Thank you guys again :D I'll be combing through the responses again later today to make sure feed back is added to the main post. [u]Auto Rifles[/u].
